I have severe misalignment of my upper jaw over my lower i can stick a finger in between. I know that i would probably need surgery to realign my jaw as i was advised this as a teenager. how do i go about this i am very keen to get it sorted as it ruins my appearance. Could i get it through a general private orthodontic practice in London? or through the nhs? my dentist said I would have to pay privately) Also is there anyway i call call to ask about it or somewhere you would recommend?
Many thanks

I am having a lot of pain after my oral surgery. Is this a normal thing?
Monday, September 27th, 2010I had a sinus lift 8 days ago… I am still have severe pain in my inner cheek area with less pain in the surgical area… I went back to the oral surgeon yesterday due to the cheek pain – he deadened my mouth (of course in the cheek area where all my pain is) with shots being so unbearable I was shaking… Long story short he saw no infection or any problems any where? He was very confused as to why I was still in such pain. Like I said the pain is 90% in my inner left cheek. Have u ever heard of this??,
